Default Whats the best color socks?

I never used to worry about what color my socks were but noticed last time I was riding that sometimes my pant legs will come up above the top of my boots and other people can see my socks. I can't stop thinking about that every since it happened. I would hate to make a fashion Faux Pa and thought since there are so many riders here maybe someone could help me as I am loosing sleep over this.
Should the socks be matched to the bike or to my pants? Or maybe they should go with my gloves?
I'm so confused. I don't think I can go riding again until I am able to make some sense of all this.
Looking forward to some good advice.
Thanks in advance to all of you for your help.

I tend to stay away from white socks.

Do they make "toeless" socks to go with my "Fingerless" gloves?

Wear over-the-calf snake proof boots, then it doesn't matter.
